Hi Brent.

That is a very interesting image with the rough waters and still water together and with a reflection.

If they had been running towards you that would have been something special.

Hi Austin...appreciate the comment...I thought the same thing...but unfortunately they were running from me :)

Great idea and scene and very, very attractive, whatever else. Beautiful scene and well spotted. I want to shout "shoot a little lower!" but I guess it's too late now? :) As it is, did you try cropping from the top to divide it more evenly into thirds. For me, that looks really good.

[Brent Wellander]

Thanks for your comments Paul. This is pretty well full frame so no cropping. If I could do it over again I would have zoomed out more. Live & learn :)

Thanks for your suggestion Paul....

Really nice capture Brent, I think the repost is a big improvement, I would have liked just a little more room on the bottom. :cool:
